Michigan Cottage Lake Beach Trip and French Market Show

 

We had our vacation this past week.  The weather in Michigan on the beach was fabulous.  
On our way to Michigan we stopped in Tipton Indiana where Horton's French Market was happening.
It was fabulous as always.  They are a garden and gift shop in this sweet little town.  Love this French Market Show each summer.

You can scroll through and enjoy seeing some of the fun shopping.

Then we made it to Michigan and the cute little cottage house we rented for the week.  Out the back of the house is Lake Michigan with its own private beach.  It was amazing.  I did not want to come home.

This is the pool we so enjoyed.  The owner had butterfly and hummingbird gardens all around the property.  It was so nice to see all the beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds enjoying the nectar of the garden flowers.

This was our own private part of the beach.  You can see how beautiful and private the beach was for just Terry and I.

These were the steps down from the cottage to the beach.

I cannot believe this little guy is 9 months old.  We took him to the zoo and they had a big carousel and he loved it.

Our grand girl Charlotte turned 8 and she loved the zoo too.  

This is our oldest granddaughter that just turned 14.  She is going into high school this fall.  OMG where does the time go?  She is such a sweet and smart girl.  Loves her church and youth group and does so much for her community.  I know this girl is going to do great things in this crazy world we live.

Little Edmund loved all the animals at the zoo.  He was fascinated by the water animals the most.

Terry and I had booked this Michigan beach vacation a year ago not knowing at the time we would be in the middle of buying and selling properties!!
Yikes it was a stressful week with all of that going on while we were trying to be on a relaxing vacation!!!

We got a contract on our condo and we have had our home inspection on the new house and everything is going good.
We have to pass the home inspection on our condo this week and then we all will move forward to closing in August.

I have lots of fun and cute things planned for our new place.
I think we are going to love being back in a home rather than a condo. 
We will be in a gated golf course community.  We will have our own ranch town home with our own individual yard, garage etc.
It will be nice to have more space too.

Prayers our inspection goes well and we are all on our way to moving into our new homes.

Have a great week.
Hugs,
Kris
